How to revert an installation in pacman

My internet has this problem where sometimes theres too much traffic and the speed just suddenly drops when you are downloading something. I was trying to download xorg and it starts good and suddenly drops to 0 and mirrorsl just sends and error and the remaining is not dow loaded. So I try it again and same thing happens. What I want to know is if after a couple of times of doing this, do I have duplicate dependencies and libraries or does pacman ignore it it is already in the system? Also, if it doesnt how can I revert the changes, going throught everythig is a complete pain.

Thanks in advance and sorry if the questions is not clear enough, I am new to Arch

Re: How to revert an installation in pacman

If there's an issue downloading, nothing gets installed, so there's nothing to revert.
